The Shortest Day ({{langx|it|Il giorno più corto}}) is a 1963 Italian comedy film. It is a parody of the war movie The Longest Day and stars the popular duo Franco and Ciccio in the leading roles. Dozens of other well-known actors, from both European and American cinema, agreed to appear in the movie in cameo roles for free to avert the bankruptcy of the production company, Titanus.{{cite web|title=Il giorno piu' corto|url=http://www.antoniodecurtis.com/corto.htm|publisher=AntonioDeCurtis.com|accessdate=22 November 2011}}{{cite web|title=Il giorno più corto|url=http://www.rai.it/RaiDue/R2_paginaSpalla/0,11017,247-1087842,00.html|publisher=Rai}}{{cite web|last=Alberto Anile|title=Il giorno più corto - rassegna stampa|url=http://www.mymovies.it/dizionario/critica.asp?id=357997|publisher=My Movies|accessdate=22 November 2011}}
